The end of a long day....

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The end of a long day....

.. from an officer's point of view.

Thought I would try a small panorama shot while shooting at a house fire.... totally different shot than i would usually do.. but i think the gamble paid off? comments more than welcome and appreciated...

Thanks Kerry. :)

I don't know about you... but I like the fact that you can't actually see the primary incident however there is still enough going on in the shot to make you look around?

Great shot.

Works well in B&W too. Love the fireman giving you a dirty look in the background.

I like this....tells a story.

What is the story I see?

The "managment" turns up after the event and asks "can I assist". The look of the "worker" answers it all! :shock:

Yes, I think that is what makes the shot appealing. There's no "central" point of interest, but plenty of interesting things to see. :)

A busy photo indeed but plenty of intersting small individual photos within it. i reckon you could crop it about four times and have four totally different pictures.

Great photo.

Mark

I really like this shot. While it is quite busy it is very interesting too and there is lots too look at. An excellent story shot as has already been observed. I think the pano layout works well to drag the viewer across the image and encounter different parts of the "story".
